Aluminium profiles since 2007

Yiğit Alüminyum was founded in 2007, when our founder Mustafa Yiğit brought his production experience into his own business. After leaving the factory where he worked as a die maker, Mustafa Yiğit began selling materials by visiting tradespeople in his own vehicle. The technical knowledge he had gained in production shaped his first steps in trade.

Working in direct contact with customers gave him the opportunity to see the needs of the industry first hand and to understand demand closely. The customer relationships built through these visits formed the commercial foundation of the company. Sales from the vehicle continued for about a year and served as the preparation period for moving to the first fixed premises.

In 2008, a rented 40 m² shop in the Esenyurt district of Istanbul became Yiğit Alüminyum's first fixed place of business. Once aluminium profiles began to be stocked at this address, the trade previously run from a vehicle gained a permanent base.

This small workplace became the centre where products were kept together and the growing sales activity was managed. Direct relationships with customers continued, and rising demand increased sales volume step by step.

Over time, the growth of sales in tonnage terms widened the company's investment goals. The commercial experience gained in the Esenyurt shop and the demand that developed there laid the groundwork for the decision to start in-house production. This period, which began in a 40 m² space, was the start of the path towards a factory.

In line with rising sales volume, an extrusion press was installed in 2012 in a 1,100 m² factory in Çatalca, Istanbul, and aluminium profile production began. With this investment, Yiğit Alüminyum became a business that supports its trading activity with its own production.

The technical experience of our founder Mustafa Yiğit as a die maker was brought together under one roof with the sales and customer knowledge gained in the field. A commercial approach based on knowing customers' needs, combined with production expertise, guided the company's development.

The Çatalca plant is where Yiğit Alüminyum became a manufacturer. A journey that began with visits to tradespeople grew into a broader operation in which aluminium profiles are produced in the company's own plant and delivered to customers.

Between 2012 and 2020, Yiğit Alüminyum continued production and sales at its Çatalca factory and increased both its domestic sales and its exports. With international sales adding to its growing business in Turkey, the company gained experience in different markets.

In this period, when production and trade developed together, the growing volume of business brought the goal of operating from a larger plant. Eight years of production in Çatalca built the experience that guided the company's later investments.

On the basis of this experience, a new investment period began in order to expand the production infrastructure and move to a larger site that would support future growth.

In 2020, to expand its production infrastructure, Yiğit Alüminyum moved its Çatalca plant to a factory with 3,000 m² of covered area in the Veliköy district of Tekirdağ. This investment, made together with a new extrusion press, allowed the company to continue production in a larger space and to increase its capacity in line with growing demand.

Today the production line at the Veliköy plant covers the die shop, extrusion press line, anodising line, electrostatic powder coating plant, machining, packaging and dispatch. The processes, from die preparation and shaping of the profile to surface treatment and dispatch, are planned according to the technical requirements of the product.

Alongside standard aluminium profiles, custom section requests are assessed on the basis of customers' technical drawings and application needs. Section dimensions and manufacturability are addressed during die design and trial production, and anodising or electrostatic powder coating is applied in the following stages as required. Machining operations such as cutting to length and angle, holes and connection details prepare the profiles for their intended use.

Dimensional accuracy, wall thickness, profile form and surface appearance are checked throughout production, and finished products are packaged to the order specification and prepared for dispatch. The production structure developed in Veliköy continues to operate as the centre that supports Yiğit Alüminyum's domestic and export activities.

In 2020, the year the production plant moved to Veliköy, a six-storey, 1,200 m² store was opened in Beylikdüzü, Istanbul. This investment, made to bring all sales operations together in one centre, expanded Yiğit Alüminyum’s commercial structure.

The company’s history of fixed premises, which began with a 40 m² shop in Esenyurt, reached a new scale with the store in Beylikdüzü. The sales activity that developed over the years was reflected in the company’s commercial centre as well as in its production investments.

The factory and store investments made in the same year shaped the way the company works today. The factory in Veliköy became the centre of production, and the store in Beylikdüzü became the centre of sales.

Today Yiğit Alüminyum operates with sales across Türkiye and export to 55 countries. With its factory in Veliköy, which has 3,000 m² of indoor space, and its six-storey, 1,200 m² store in Beylikdüzü, it runs production and sales from two separate centres.

The business began in 2007 with Mustafa Yiğit visiting tradesmen in his own vehicle. It moved into its first premises in 2008, started production in 2012, and in 2020 opened a larger factory and a sales centre. Each investment was built on the experience gained and the business volume developed in the preceding period.

Yiğit Alüminyum combines technical knowledge from production with commercial experience, and aims to build long-term business relationships with its customers and to expand the markets it serves. It continues to strengthen its operations in Türkiye while developing its presence in international markets.
